Pls let me know if I miss something, I'll post it as soon as I can.

I grabbed a Pro for myself, a worthy upgrade from the 5, and getting a free Watch 2 with it is great. I love my OG pixel watch so that with better battery life is all I ask for.
It's not free, you are paying for it in the phone price. Phone prices are super inflated rn. People keep buying these $1k phones, so prices are slowly going up to see what they can get away with.
Okay, so at no extra cost to me I get a $700 phone (by your standards) and a $350 watch, both of which I use basically all day every day for any number of reasons that will last me 3 years like my current one. Sounds good to me.
Woah my guy, I am not objecting your purchasing decision, relax! I hope they are great devices and you are happy with them.
I think they actually want to inspire Fitbit Premium subscriptions with the watch. Not required, but recurrent user spending...
Yeah, probably part of it too. Google are an advertising company after all, they always have loads of sales on Pixel products to get people in the ecosystem for that juicy data. Good thing Pixels are the best phone for loading an alternative OS.
So what price do you think the 8 Pro should sell at?
And what price do you think would be good for a 8 Pro and Pixel Watch bundle?
At some point the 8 Pro would be sold at MSRP and without the watch which would be the worst value. And you would have to wait a long while for the phone to drop in price the value of the watch.
Nah pixels drop fast in price and there's always loads of sales.
Phones havent changed much in the last few years, but prices have sky rocketed.
I think all these flagship phones should be like $700-800 max. $1000 is ridiculous.
Congrats! Should be quite the upgrade from the Pixel 5.
